  Some Singaporean ad is really lousy lor. Very boring one, not creative at all.
  
  I like some Japanese ad. Very creative and funny. The Gatsby ad and also the Top washing powder ad. Very nicely done sia.

  Yeah I think our local ads are adtarded. Most of the time they try to play on trends or directly dumb themselves down to appeal to a very focused target audience. Instead of being refreshing. BTW to one of the above fellas, the 123 ad is Kuishinbo ad. Yeah very retarded, but you see how else do you convey that this is a Japanese restaurant to the aunty population? Simple, dumb it down.
  
  The Tiger beers ads try to be refreshing, by ripping off creative serial advertisements, without any purpose. Ok, so Tiger beer is a secret. The ads does nothing to speak of the quality of the beer or the qualities they are trying to embody. Jessica Alba won't like it so much anymore. No longer is a a beer you drink with your friends during "Tiger Time" or a quality beer even Americans look for. It's a secret...wooOoooOoo so mysterious.
  
  I do agree that Saatchi and Saatchi do come up with some good advertisements. It's just that they are only one firm. They will spark stupid trends though. Take all the M1, Starhub, whatever Credit companies. For example, I'm sure everyone knew what they were trying to sell. Join us....Join us, and your life will be beautiful you'll live a rich life.
  
  I think Singapore ads do one thing right though and that is bastardising great songs.

  My wife like them but slightly too dramatic for me, just like poems I love a twist in the ending.

  Should see thailand adv. Very creative and in touch.
  
  But cant blame singapore ads. There is a lot of restrictions. And our people cant think out of the box too.

  If you are truly creative, there is no box.

  The tiger beer ad is the most creative one i ever watched. They made like
  
  a tons of episodes and make it look so profound, you need an IQ of 400 to
  
  understand. Remember the ad " WHO Is ( person's name ) " ? I appologize
  
  becuase the ad was so lousy , i've forgotten the name. They took like so many
  
  episodes just to reveal the freaking name. And now, they are doing the whole
  
  guessing thing again. And about Singapore's shows, please spare me from
  
  any of them. If you notice the recent sitcoms, it always revolve around the
  
  same place. Pure OMG. But this probably arises due to a tight budget. If not,
  
  Christopher Lee would not have drunk himself.
  
  Peace,
  TB.

  The above advertisements proved that we don't need much money to create
  
  a creative one.[/list]

  The jap and thai ads are not bad
  
  Spore ads are boring and not attractive enough.
  
  Btw, are scv ads local or overseas ads? I find that theirs are better than those on ch 5 and 8.
